Stylish Choices for Bathroom Vanities
The traditional style of vanity is now sharing the stage with more modern counterparts as manufacturers offer more contemporary takes on this bathroom staple.
The contemporary designs of bathroom vanities we are seeing now is a far cry from their humble beginnings back in the 50's and 60's. Back then it was more about function than style and bathroom vanities were looked at as little more than camouflage for the plumbing and a little storage for good measure. But as vanities became the norm, a design aesthetic emerged, and exquisite furniture style pieces gained popularity. No longer just wooden boxes the vanity became a way for homeowners to express themselves through design, and while many still prefer the more traditional concept manufacturers are feeling the demand and offering more contemporary styles.
When it comes to choosing your vanity it's all about options. Those who choose to go the more traditional route will find stylish selections to dress up a powder room or they can choose to go all out for a "hotel suite" style master bath. There are vanity choices in solid hardwoods, like cherry and birch and you can give your cabinet some character with clawfeet and elaborate carvings. Let's not forget about the countertop. With selections in marble, granite, travertine and a variety of colors in ceramics you can put your personal signature on the traditional style.
The traditional style is not for everyone, and manufacturers have started to offer a large variety of bathroom vanities in black, porcelain and chrome finishes for those who would rather have something more sleek and modern. Some styles are wall mounted leaving you space for items like trash cans or a bathroom scale. You have beautiful low maintenance options with straight lines and one piece sinks. How about a classic black and white bathroom with contrasting splashes of red - maybe add some avant-garde pedestals and basin sinks. There are a myriad of possibilities for those who have a less conventional aesthetic.
With the amount of choices out there having your bathroom reflect your personal style is now easier than ever. Stylish selections in bathroom vanities, mirrors and bathroom accessories can help you take what was historically a functional space and transform it into a central part of your home's decor.
Doing the proper research online first will also help you with any bathroom projects and potentially save you money by finding items such as hardware or furniture on sale.
